more florida shenanigans, we have a video of a romney volunteer down there saying that president obama is a muslim. it was picked up by an answering machine after the volunteer didn't hang up before moving on to her next call. the clip aired in tampa on a radio station, wmmf. nbc news hasn't independently authenticated the audio. >> you don't want obama. you really don't want obama because he'll get rid of your medicare. you might as well say good-bye to it. yeah, and, i don't know if you've done any research on obama or not, but eggs a muslim. >> well, he is a muslim. that's push polling. you pretend to be polling and all you're doing is putting out the word the guy is a communist. >> would you vote for someone who believes in communist. we're taking a survey. we've been talking about this for a couple years. for some reason the republican party and their conservative allies can't get away from describing obama as muslim, not born here, not believing in america. >> i know, i know, i know this is what they do. the head of florida's gop where the call appears to originate told "the st.

romney is qualified to deliver on that plan. no, he is. [applause] honesting you an presentation of what he's proposing. the, i'm looking forward to press following up and making sure that you know i'm not exaggerating. [applause] i believe their approach is wrong. and i'm not alone. i have not seen a single independent analysis that says my opponent's economic plan would actually reduce the deficit. not one. even analysts who may agree with parts of his economic theory don't believe that his plan would create more jobs in the short term. they don't claim his plan would help folks looking for work right now. in fact, just the other week, one economist from moody's said the following about mr. romney's plan -- and i'm quoting here -- "on net, all of these policies would do more harm in the short term. if we implemented all of his policies, it would push us deeper into recession and make the recovery slower." that's not my spin. that's not my opinion. that's what independent economic analysis says. as for the long term, remember that the eco
